Thread: Republic Blaster Better range than a rifle
Here are the stats for the Republic Blaster I pulled from another thread.. The patch just fixed the cert for it.
Here's the stats on the Republic Blaster I just had made for me on sunrunner.
62-267 with modifiers 0/-3/0 (0 to accuracy at 64m ha!) AP1 energy damage.
I'm sure everyone is wondering my a pistol has a +0 at 64m while there Laser Rifle is -50 at the same range. These range stats have always been with the pistol. But it was never being used since the cert was broken. Guess this will quickly become the favorite weapon of a great many people.
I absolutely hate calling for a nerf. But the range mods for this weapon absolutely need to be changed.
Seen that in the BH forum too, ya makes me sick also.
Hopefully with our new accuracy bonuses it wont matter.

With your amazing accuracy bonuses, you should still be more accurate at 60ish meters than any master gunfighter could hope to be -- even with a launcher pistol or republic blaster which are +0 @ 64m -- at least if the principles of Noules00's testing results are still valid.
Anyone can use aim. Sure we have a better ability than others but they can still gain some aim bonus. Aiming also doubles the time between attacks.If you read Noules00's post you should know that pistol specials have an inherant accuracy bonus. I believe the number was around +50 or so. So we are actually only slightly ahead in accuracy at 64m if we are ahead at all. While we are very much behind at min range. If we want to change the equation a bit and say accuracy while moving then we are definately behind at range now.
I'm also wondering how a weapon can be LEAST accurate at it's IDEAL range. Based on the accuracy mods the ideal range would be 0m and 64m.
What should be done, in my opinion, is the pistol should have it's ideal bonus raised. Then drop the max while leaving the min alone.

I would rather see them change the -whatever at 64m on riflesfirst.
I'd love to see that also. No reason my Laser Rifle should drop 71 points in accuracy because of 4m (12feet). I listed that as one of my top 5 issues when our new correspondent asked us for issues.
But I still have a problem with a pistol having a base accuracy much better than a rifle.

Thanx much. Ask them to bump up the ideal too though. The ideal shouldn't be where it's the least accurate. Just make it in line with other pistols.

Quick, put the mattress up against the door!!
I'll man the Rifle from behind the table. Just hope they stay between 60-64m, other wise we boned!
